Thanks John and thanks to all!
Seems this requires a lot of effort anyway.
So maybe it is better to take a different approach: take the legend out
of the chart and put it on a plot.new() on the right of the chart, use
only colored letters but make them larger to be visible.
Thanks!

I suspect that you may have to construct the legend by hand (well, by explicit
text commands anyway)
Something like this seems to work and it should not be that difficult to write
a function to handle the text commands.
plot(1:10,10:1,lty=1,type='b', lwd=2,pch='a')
text(1.4,6, label="-a- ", col="red")
text(2.5,6, label="dg1")

Dear all,
I have a multiline plot with each line labeled with a
different letter.
But I'm not able to make the legend display the same kind
of pattern '-a-', instead the letter is overwritten by the
line. A simpler legend with only the letter is not very
visible and the pt.bg does nothing with letters. Any idea?
plot(1:10,10:1,lty=1,type='b', lwd=2,pch='a')
legend("left", legend=c("ds1","ds2"), bty='n', col=1:2,
lty=2,lwd=4,pch=letters)
Thanks for your help!
